Good prenatal but not for those with enough iron
"This one does includes iron and is more rounded than most vitamins out there for a lower-middle price range. I wanted to try Thorne out before actually getting pregnant then switching to my expensive prenatals, but now realize the iron was too much for my body to take. If you know you are deficient in iron then this prenatal might work for you and you might not have the same experience as me.
After 3 weeks, I've stopped taking these due to the gastrointestinal issues and immediate aches I get from these prenatals. It was immediate reaction when I started but I thought maybe it was my food, or just "getting used to it". I peeled back the bottle label where the other half of the remaining ingredients were listed and remembered that the extra iron might be causing me these issues. Having too much can mess with your gut microbiome and I felt it was obvious by my daily bloat and stomach rumblings that my body was working way hard but in a bad way. Typically I'm very regular, but had multiple days of strain. For now, I will be switching back to my usual capsules that do not include iron until maybe later in pregnancy and could use the extra.
Update: I stopped and my body is back to being regular, so confirmed it was this supplement. Also this brand/seller is extremely honest and responsive. They sent me a refund after seeing my review. I wasn't expecting it but really appreciate that they care. Because of this I added an extra star back from 3 to 4 as I would be willing to try their other products."
Great Values for Baby
"I’ve been taking this prenatal since before I got pregnant. I chose it due to the high vitamin values compared to other brands. I read a lot of reviews before choosing, most people saying it leaves no aftertaste, but that is not the case! You definitely burp it and taste it. There’s also over 7000% of Vitamin B12 that makes your urine really yellow as you pee it out, and you’ll even smell it exactly as the pill smells. Definitely don’t love that and now being pregnant, I’m finding these are hard to take because you have to take 3 and they really do taste awful. The only reason I didn’t rate lower and still take these is because of the high values. But yes, you will taste it. And it gets worse when pregnant! It meets most of the minimum necessities to grow a baby. My PCP and gynecologist don’t seem to care which prenatal I take, as long as it has enough folate. So these aren’t necessarily necessary, but I wanted all the high values for the baby. A plus is it doesn’t make you sick."
Seem OK, but I’m anemic and need more iron
"These are fine, been taking them for months, I just found out I need to take an additional iron supplement because apparently they don’t have enough iron for me. Dr. told me to take ferrous sulphate. You take 3 of these a day, i space them out, it’s easy for me to take pills they’re a regular sized capsule. Also taking DHA supplement and choline separately."
